SkyCorp Home Video is a satirical media corporation that delivers various assorted comedic (and sometimes disturbing) sketches (alongside various vulgar production logos) in a decayed VHS style evocative of the late 80s and early 90s. Notable for recording on actual VHS tape. | |

Really, if any of their videos start out like a standard parody or homage to retro television/VHS, then expect things to get dark or weird fast. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| SkyCorp Home Video (Web Video) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Occasionally in some commercials and PSAs, which are supposed to take place from the 80s or 90s, a car that looks like it was made one or two decades later can be seen. The 90s Negativity PSA, for example, includes the Chrysler 200 and the Hyundai Elantra, both of them being made in the 2010s! | |

Parody Commercial: A common theme of the channel is to parody 1980/90s commercials by adding a dark twist, like in The Charm Bar, Cuddles the doll, or Magnavox Movie Maker. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| SkyCorp Home Video (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: When he first appeared on a SkyCorp vine, Smithers O’Neil didn’t have a nasally voice. Similar to Smithers, Roger the Babysitter spoke in a more normal tone, compared to later videos where his voice gets pitched up. Wide World of Web has two notable ones: The first foray of The Wide World of Web was hosted by Paul Perkenstein for two episodes, both of which lasted a minute. The second foray hosted by Smithers O’Neil opened and closed with a different tune in the first episode from VAAV Social Club called "リングリング -de repente...". | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| SkyCorp Home Video (Web Video) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: The "80s Sex Ed PSA" suggests that premarital sex should be punishable by cuffing the one who proposes it in a room rigged with C4 and blowing the room up. "Smoking Weed Ruined This Family" - your son tries one joint? Hold him by the neck while his brother fetches a knife. In the "How to Write an Email" episode of The Wide World of Web, Smithers O’Neil gets fired over sending inappropriate MS Paint artwork to his boss Nimesh and not knowing when to back down, along with insulting Janice the HR lady. Smithers responds by sending an "I AM SORRY" virus to everyone in the tech startup company, which ultimately went out of business over it. | |

N-Word Privileges: Parodied with "The N-Word Pass®", where SkyCorp sells documentation for them for just $50 a month, and carriers of the pass can say the word to designated recipients who receive that subscription cost. The commercial does point out that a variant of the pass with the hard R doesn't exist at this time. | |

Villain Protagonist | |
| SkyCorp Home Video (Web Video) / int_898ff050 | comment |
Villain Protagonist: Smithers O'Neil enters this trope in "How to Write an Email", gradually losing it over the pronunciation of "affect" and "effect" from his boss Nimesh. When he gets rightfully fired over escalating the conflict and insulting Janice for good measure when he should’ve just listened to his boss, Smithers sends a virus called “I AM SORRY� to his former workplace in his apology message, forcing the rising tech startup company to go out of business. Then he anonymously recommends Nimesh for a cashier position at a Mc Donald’s. | |

Retraux | |
| SkyCorp Home Video (Web Video) / int_92dfffae | comment |
Retraux: A stunningly accurate recreation of the aesthetics of the 80s and 90s, to the point where according to their channel description, the footage is either shot on VHS or copied to a VHS tape. To that end, they even produced a video detailing the process, and even offer a service to create actual retro-styled commercials, like this series of Halloween ads for Papa John's Pizza. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| SkyCorp Home Video (Web Video) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: "YOU ARE AMAZING" takes a turn by adding "-LY GAY" on the end. And then again by adding, "SO BURN IN HELL". The "This" in the "LET'S ALL DO THIS!!!" logo refers to panicking, at which point the synthesizer fanfare gives way to biohazard symbols appearing everywhere, terrified messages appearing on screen and the footage distorting. Really, if any of their videos start out like a standard parody or homage to retro television/VHS, then expect things to get dark or weird fast. | |
